British Brass Pepperbox Revolver - Non-Firing Gun, Brass Finished Steel Barrel, Wooden Grips - Length 8 1/2”

Product Description

The pepper-box revolver or simply pepperbox is a multiple-barrel repeating firearm that has three or more barrels grouped around a central axis. In the 15th century, several single-shot barrels were attached to a stock, being fired individually by means of a match. Around 1790, pepperboxes were built on the basis of flintlock systems, notably in England. This British Brass Pepperbox Revolver is non-firing and is typical of the type of firearm popular in North America from 1830 until the American civil war. It features six, brass-finished metal revolving barrels, stamped “London”, and it has wooden grips.
